Fara Sherazi was a CIA analyst. She lived with her father, who was, for a time, unaware of her job with the CIA, and believed her to be a banker until she was visited by the IG, or Inspector General (CIA), when she missed two days of work after the double homicide of Javadi's ex-wife Fariba and daughter-in-law Susan. She was killed by Haqqani when he invaded the U.S. embassy because of her betraying him.

Personality

At a glance, Fara's wearing the hijab gave the assumption that she was Muslim and viewed suspiciously in working for the CIA, as shown when she is first introduced to the series. However, it was later made clear that she truly cared for the United States.

People and Relationships

Fara was recruited by Saul. In the beginning, he was rather harsh toward her and judged her for working for the CIA and wearing a hijab, even in light of the bombing. Even after she has proved her worth to him, it is obvious that, like with Carrie, Saul manipulates Fara and takes advantage of her skills.

Carrie was rude to Fara, which Max pointed out after her death. She "wished" she would've been nicer. She constantly yelled at her for being too sensitive and not understanding enough. Even though Fara was an analyst, she almost always got caught up in things way beyond dangerous, which she didn't like and wasn't comfortable with doing.

Carrie called her father to tell him about her death, where she broke down crying.

Even though it wasn't clear before, Max deeply cared for Fara, possibly because she was quiet and reserved like he was. He tried giving himself in her place before she died and was completely distraught and upset over her death, for which he blamed Carrie.

He told Carrie she just wanted their approval and that they were always "mean" to her, which Carrie knew (and was true) but she said she was training her. He told Carrie that Fara shouldn't even have been there since she was "just an analyst". He brings this up later on too, clearly showing he thinks it was her fault.
